| Focus’ Downton Abbey took in $3.288 million on Monday to lead the daily box office for a fourth consecutive day. Downton Abbey held up very nicely on Monday, as the film declined just
57.0 percent from Sunday’s performance. After experiencing initial front-loading on Saturday, Downton Abbey has stabilized nicely on Sunday and Monday. Through four days of release, Downton Abbey has grossed a stronger
than expected $34.322 million. That places the film 22.1 percent ahead of the $28.102 million grossed by Rocketman through its first four days earlier this year. |
| Disney and Fox’s Ad Astra placed in second with $1.523 million. Ad Astra was down 66.0 percent from Sunday’s take. The Brad Pitt-led film has grossed $20.524 million in four days, which is towards
the higher end of expectations. Ad Astra is running 18.5 percent ahead of the $17.319 million four-day start of last year’s First Man and going forward will hope to display stronger holding power than First Man did. |
| STXfilms’ Hustlers claimed third place with $1.462 million. Hustlers declined 66.5 percent from Sunday and a sizable 46.8 percent from last Monday. While Hustlers is currently displaying some
front-loading, in the bigger picture the film continues to exceed expectations with a strong eleven-day haul of $63.814 million. That places Hustlers an impressive 20.7 percent ahead of the $52.849 million eleven-day start of
2016’s Bad Moms. |
| Lionsgate’s Rambo: Last Blood followed in fourth place with $1.391 million. The fifth installment of the Sylvester Stallone-led film series was down 70.6 percent from Sunday. Rambo: Last Blood has
grossed $20.264 million in four days, which is towards the lower end of expectations. Rambo: Last Blood is running a slim 3.5 percent ahead of the $19.581 million four-day start of 2008’s Rambo. |
| Warner and New Line’s IT Chapter Two rounded out Monday’s top five with $1.124 million. IT Chapter Two decreased 74.8 percent from Sunday and a sharp 49.9 percent from last Monday.
IT Chapter Two has grossed a healthy $180.051 million in 18 days, but is also running a significant 32.8 percent behind the $268.012 million 18-day gross of 2017’s IT. |
